passive vibration control

Passive vibration control refers to methods that reduce or absorb unwanted vibrations in structures or machinery without the use of active systems or external energy sources. These methods include the use of materials like damping pads, tuned mass dampers, or flexible joints that naturally dissipate energy when vibrations occur. Because they operate automatically and rely on inherent properties, passive systems are reliable, maintenance-free, and cost-effective, making them ideal for stabilizing bridges, buildings, or equipment against environmental forces such as wind or seismic activity.
